GAS-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 790,881, dated May 30,1905. Application filed January 4, 1905. Serial No. 239,650.

To all whom/ it may concern:

Be it known that we, HENRY J. BRESSON and ERNEST W. KING, citizens ofthe United States, and residents of the city and county of Kalamazoo,State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inGas-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in gas-stoves.

It relates'particularly to gas-stoves for heating purposes.

The objects of this invention are, first, to provide an improvedgas-stove by which a maximum amount of heat is secured from the gasconsumed; second, to provide an improved gas-stove by which the heat isdelivered close to the floor.

Further objects and objects relating to structural details willdefinitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

WVe accomplish the objects of our invention by the devices and meansdescribed in the following specification. The invention is clearlydefined, and pointed out in the claims.

A structure embodying the features of our invention is clearlyillustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, in which- Figure 1 is a detail side elevation view, partially in section, on a line corresponding to line 1 1 of Fig. 2, of astructure embodying the features of our invention, portions being brokenaway to show the arrangements of the parts. Fig. 2 is a horizontalsectional view taken on a line corresponding to line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

In the drawings the sectional views are taken looking in the directionof the little arrows at the ends of the section-lines, and similarletters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the severalviews.

' Referring to the drawings, A is the base, which may be of any desiredform or construction. A suitable gas-burner a is provided. We provide aninner casing or stovebody proper, A, which is supported on the base A.This casing A is provided with suitable air-inlet openings at its lowerend. The to plate A for the inner casing A is provi ed with a suitabledownturned rim and has a central opening therethrough to receive thegrate or griddle a. (See Fig. 2.)

Arranged over the upper end of the casing A and extending well towardthe bottom thereof is an outer casing B, open only at its lower end.This casing is provided with inwardly-projecting upwardly-inclined arms1), arranged toward the top, adapted to rest upon the top plate A of theinner casing.

The top B of the outer casing B is referably conformed to secure thedesire ornamental effect. The outer casing B is provided with anoutwardly and downwardly flaring rim B at its lower end, which tends todeflect the heated air or gases outwardly from the stove. Thumb-screws bare arranged through the casing B, at its lower end, for securing thesame rigidly in position on the in ner casing and to prevent 1tsswinging upon its supporting-arms b.

In use the heated air and gases pass upwardly through the inner casing Aand out of the top thereof into the outer casing B, from which they areforced out at the bottom, as is indicated by the arrows in Fig. 1. Thisdelivers. the same close to the floor, and the outwardly-flaring rim atthe bottom of the casing gives them an outward direction.

The casing B forms an air-chamber about the upper end of the casing A,which is at all times when the stove is in use filled with the heatedgases and provides a comparatively large radiating-surface for thestove. The outer casing B may be readily removed should it be desired toplace any article on the griddle a for cooking purposes.

By inclining the supportingarms 5 upwardly and inwardly, as we haveillustrated, it is not necessary to make the outer casing to fit anyspecial size of stove, as it is adapted to stoves of varying diameters.The thumbscrews 1) may be adjusted to secure the outer casing inposition or to release the same, so that it may be quickly removed orput in position, as occasion requires.

Our improved stove is very economical to produce and is at the same timevery durable. We have illustrated and described the same in detail inthe form preferred by us on account of its structural simplicity andeconomy. We desire, however, to state that it can be varied considerablyin structural details Without departing from our invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desiredto be secured by Letters Patent, is

1. In a gas-stove, the combination of a suitable base; a burner; aninner casing open at its upper end, having perforations therethroughabout said burner; an outer casing open only at its lower end, andhaving an outwardly and downwardly projecting flange at its lower end,arranged over said inner casing to form an air-chamber about the upperportion thereof; inwardly and upwardly projecting supporting-arms onsaid outer casing adapted to rest on said inner casing; and thumb-screwsarranged through the walls of said outer casing toward its lower end,adapted to be adjusted to engage said inner casing, for the purposespecified.
